Recently, commit 4f6ad8aa1eac ("checkpatch: move repeated word test")
moved the repeated word test to check for more file types. But after
this, if checkpatch.pl is run on MAINTAINERS, it generates several
new warnings of the type:
WARNING: Possible repeated word: 'git'
For example:
WARNING: Possible repeated word: 'git'
+T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml.git
So, the pattern "git git://..." is a false positive in this case.
There are several other combinations which may produce a wrong
warning message, such as "@size size", "Begin; begin", etc.
Extend repeated word check to compare the characters before and
after the word matches. If the preceding or succeeding character
belongs to the exception list, the warning is avoided.

Hi,
This patch is followed from the discussion at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel-mentees/7d8c7d80aa7b0524cca49a6dfe24e878bea6ab12.camel@perches.com/
, where Joe suggested that instead of hard coding the
particular words, we can check the surrounding
characters instead for punctuations and ingore them.
Please let me know if any changes are needed.
Thanks,
Dwaipayan.

I think for this feature you do not to need to send it first to me and then
to lkml.
Just continue the discussion directlyon lkml.
